He seems more like a 15-25 range. In a trade down, could live with it. What would you do if Wirfs and Thomas are off the board? Trade down? How far, and who are the players you'd be targeting?

Horseunit Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 OT with quick nimble feet and smarts Tristan Wirfs Prince Tega Wanogho Hakeem Adeniji Ben Bartch Yasir Durant OG/C same thing as OT's Nick Harris Netane Muti Cesar Ruiz Matt Peart Matt Hennessy These are the Lineman I would be looking at for executing a zone-blocking scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which highly-rated linemen should we street clear of due to fit? @BleedTheClock @DaWg_LB. @Mind Character @Horseunit @big poppa pump @pnies20 @therealwiseman @DawgX @Bonanza23 For ZBS I’m going with...

Simmons will require good coaching and play a niche role in the NFL at first. He’s not going to be a full time starter at LB and I also feel that some think he’s going to come in and start at S, which he’s not.

His floor is solid, and his ceiling is watt level. I do worry about what position Simmons will play in the nfl...but he is great at covering tight ends..and nice as a blitzer. You are correct that he will need to be in a good system with good coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct that he will need to be in a good system with good coaching. I feel like a guy like Simmons is an easy fit. He’s a second level defender, call the position whatever you like. He can run, cover TE’s, blitz, etc. Maybe he’s not perfectly suited to taking on fullbacks in the hole (hardy har), but it’s not like he’s some 210 pound safety or something, he’s 6’4” 230lbs. I think he’s a perfect fit in the modern NFL. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be good, despite not playing a true S position. He's literally the PERFECT candidate to play 4-3 SLB in the NFL. I don't think you could design a player that fits better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im in the never take a safety on the 1st unless they are troy, ed, or sean types, which is hard to predict because it is a crap shoot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGK Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 1 minute ago, BleedTheClock said: No. Agreed. And I think it's a totally unfair question. They don't even play the same position. Simmons is going to be a LB who covers TEs and rushes the passer, not a traditional SS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horseunit Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 @Mind Character I know you are a big fan of Netane Muti, but what are your thoughts on Nick Harris Washington and Matt Hennessy Temple. Both currently play center and are listed under 300 pounds. do you think either would be good at guard? both seem to be pigeon holed strictly for zone blocking schemes.
